Kristian Høgsberg 6e539d8817 Xwayland DDX
Started out as an Xorg module to be used from Xorg drivers to let
Xorg run under a wayland server.  The idea was to be able to reuse the
2D acceleration from the Xorg driver.  Now with glamor being credible,
a better plan is to just make Xwayland its own DDX, similar to Xwin
and Xquartz.  This is a much better fit, as much of the code in the
original approach had to hack around Xorg doing Xorg things like take
over the VT, probe input devices and read config files.  Another big win
is that Xwayland dosn't need to be setuid root.

The Xwayland support for DRI3, Glamor and render nodes was done by
Axel Davy <axel.davy@ens.fr>, who also did a lot of work on the rebase
to the Xwayland DDX.

					X Server

The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.

Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.

For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the
following article:

All questions regarding this software should be directed at the
Xorg mailing list:
